The kittens' house trashing party

I bought this little cardboard "color it yourself" house a while back and it has been a toy for several sets of kittens. It has held up remarkably well, but I have a feeling Max is going to be the end of it. When I first put it down for them he immediately ripped the chimney off and started chewing on it. All kittens like chewing cardboard, I think it is like a teething toy for them, and he is no exception. He was a little annoyed with me when I put it back on the house and he promptly wandered off as if to show me. He could not resist it though and returned rather quickly. As long as he has fun, that is what is important.

Looks like a lot of fun. When Eric and Flynn were babies I kept their toys in a cardboard box. The top got covered in tiny tooth-marks where they chewed on it, and I often found baby teeth lying beside it. I still have the box nearly 17 years later. I can't bring myself to throw it away.
